ABSTRACT
We performed percutaneous transluminal balloon valvoplasty in a 53-year-old woman with severe valvar pulmonary stenosis. Peak systolic gradient across the pulmonary valve reduced from 112 mm Hg before valvoplasty to 47 mm Hg immediately after dilatation, which further fell to 30 mm Hg six months after valvoplasty with virtual disappearance of gradient at one year follow up. Patients of isolated valvar pulmonary stenosis presenting in late adult life can be adequately and safely treated with balloon valvoplasty, without recourse to surgery with excellent immediate and long-term results.
